Baby LOVE

Soaps In Depth

Published July 22, 2003

Thorsten
Kaye (Ian) has a new little lady in his life: infant daughter McKenna.
Born just five months ago to longtime love Susan Haskell (ex-Granya),
the
tot already has Daddy wrapped around her little finger. "It's a lot of
work, but you see the changes from day to day, which is pretty
awesome,"
Kaye marvels, sharing that he does indeed do diapers. "She recently
learned
to turn over from her back to her stomach -- it's pretty cool!"

Born prematurely, the wee one is getting stronger by the
minute. "She
smiled and laughed the other day," Kaye offers. But the proud pop isn't
following around his baby with a camcorder; rather, he's committing
each
of McKenna's precious "firsts" to memory. "I'm not into that
[videotaping
thing]. I'm not worried about that. There will be a lot of moments," he
explains.

Kaye adds, "It's a responsibility you can't give up. It's not
like buying
a car; [parenthood is] a responsibility for life -- longer than your
life; we're going to be responsible for her future!"
